Part 2 of Khaled and Nadine’s session is the black and white photos. I love digital black and white conversions since I can warm them up a little bit. Secretly I have a soft spot in my heart for sepia toned images because I like the skin tones better than true black and white, but sepia gets tired very quickly when overdone. I never get tired of warm tone black and white images, though. I use the Topaz B&W Effects plugin for Lightroom for my conversions. It’s a bit tedious since there isn’t a batch processing option, but I love the look and tone so much that I don’t mind. I’m a little picky about which images I choose to covert and there were some from Khaled and Nadine’s session that just screamed for black and white – in fact this first image is one of my favorite images I’ve ever made. There are some repeat images here from Part 1, but many of these weren’t in that post.
